We acknowledge that we live, work, meet and travel land on the traditional territories of many First Nations and Indigenous Peoples that have cared for this land for millennia, now called Canada. Our head office is based in Chilliwack, BC - home to the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Stó:lō Coast Salish peoples.
We recognize that land acknowledgements are a first step towards the larger process of reconciliation between non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples in Canada. This practice is inspired by the 94 calls to action contained in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada report, and helps Canadians recognize and respect Indigenous peoples’ inherent kinship beliefs when it comes to the land. It serves as a starting place to change how the land is seen and talked about.
